Mini-Lesson: Using Storyboards to Find Structure

Look at the teacher's sample.

Talk as a class about how I may structure this essay. Do I need to get rid of any scenes? What order might I go in? What deeper theme do I seem to be leaning towards?

Food For Thought...

Do you know what a frame story is?
I think I might use a frame story technique on my narrative. I might start as an adult walking through my old house. As I walk into each room, I could flashback to a memory in that room.
